Williams defeated Greek tennis player Maria Sakkari on Sept. 1, but lost six days later to Sloane Stephens of the United States.

It was a busy week for the Williams family; sister Serena Williams gave birth to her first child, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., on Sept. 1.

The report was filed Sept. 5.

Three months earlier, Venus Williams was involved in a car crash in Palm Beach Gardens that caused the death of a person in the other vehicle. Williams faced no criminal charges in the crash, but the victims' family filed a civil lawsuit
